most of The best days I’ve ever had ended around a campfire. Few things promote friendship as much as sitting around the fire, sharing food and drink with friends and family. The outdoor bonfire is probably one of the first inventions of our ancestors.
However, there is no need to become a caveman to recapture that vibe and feeling. There are dozens of outdoor fire pits on the market: wood-burning, propane, smokeless, tiki-themed, and everything in between. It can be overwhelming, so we’ve put together this guide to help you find the best fire pit for every outdoor space, whether you have a small yard or acres of nature at your back door.
Be sure to read our many other outdoor guides, including the best tents, best coolers, and best portable grills.
